REVIEW: The $208,000 Audi R8 Performance is a relic of supercars long gone, and that's what makes it specialDecember 17, 2020 at 10:25 AM 2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe Quattro.
Kristen Lee
The 2020 R8 is Audi's halo car, with a naturally aspirated V10 positioned between its two axles.
There are currently two versions of the R8 available: the V10 Quattro and the more powerful V10 Performance Quattro.
My loaner was the more powerful version, starting at $195,900. Fees and extra options brought it up to $208,245.
